• heat and pressure

• cooling

• erosion

Look at the picture. What is happening at process D to make magma? (in the red boxes)

• compacting

• heat and pressure

• melting

• erosion

Magma (the molten rock present deep inside the earth) or lava on earth's surface following a volcanic eruption, solidifies due to rapid cooling and crystallizes to form a type of rock called ​ (a)   .

• igneous rocks

• metamorphic rocks

• sedimentary rocks

Look at the picture. What is happening at process E to make igneous rock? (in the blue boxes)

• cooling

• heat and pressure

• melting

• erosion

What type of rock is made from cooling lava or magma?

• Igneous Rock

• Metamorphic Rock

• Sedimentary Rock

What type of rock is made by eroded and compacted sediment?
